S E O U L (6) : Cafe Street Samcheong-dong [삼청동] & Innisfree Jeju House

Hey, guys! Today, I'll wrap up my Seoul travelogue with Samcheong-dong, one of my favorite places in Seoul. If you like to explore different cafes with unique themes and menus, you'll definitely enjoy walking through Samcheong-dong since it's known as Cafe Street. Here, you can see many cafes along the way, and they all have distinct characteristics. I wish I had a whole day just to hop around cafes and take photos, but I didn't have enough time. Therefore, I only went to one that I anticipated to visit the most - the Innisfree Jeju House. Before I talk about the cafe, let's take a brief look around Samcheong-dong.

S E O U L (5) : Romantic Spot - N Seoul Tower [N서울타워]

Hey guys! Who else is excited for the upcoming Valentine's Day? When I was in Korea, I felt like everyday I was there was Valentine's Day. The couple culture was huge - you can often see couples showing affection in public and some literally wear identical outfits. I also noticed that there are many romantic spots in Seoul, including one on which I will be talking about today - the N Seoul Tower located on Namsan Mountain. It's famous because of the love locks. Couples come here to lock padlocks with their names written on along the fence of the tower and throw the key away. The legend says doing so will make their love unbreakable. There are similar places with this legend across the world, such as in Paris.

S E O U L (4) : Strolling Around Bukchon Hanok Village [북촌한옥마을]

What I find truly amazing about the beautiful traditional Bukchon Hanok Village is how well it persevered. From the look of it, you might think this village is out in the middle of nowhere, but it is actually in the middle of bustling Seoul. People still lives in the old, traditional houses while carrying out a modern lifestyle. Of course, the interior is most likely renovated for more comfort and practicality, and electricity is installed. However, it's just rare these days to see exterior of traditional structures so minimally altered. While strolling around the village, you can still feel the presence of the old way of life.

S E O U L (3) : Gyeongbokgung Palace [경복궁]

Hey guys! Part 3 of my Seoul travelogue will be on the famous Gyeongbok Palace, or Gyeongbokgung. It is a filming location for many historical dramas and movies. Anyone visiting Korea has to go there since it is the most significant landmark and is the biggest palace out of all five in Korea. If you don't, you'll definitely miss out on a lot of beautiful and remarkable experience. I don't think you need to visit all five palaces, especially if you have to spare some time for other things - Gyeongbokgung alone would be enough.

S E O U L (2) : Tea Time in Insa-dong [인사동]

Today, I'll take you to Insa-dong, which is also one of the famous tourist destinations in Korea. People usually go there to experience traditional Korean culture. In Insa-dong, you can find traditional restaurants, tea houses, art galleries, and more. It is a place you definitely have to stop by when you visit Korea.

S E O U L (1) : K-Cosmetics Heaven, Myeong-dong [명동]

Here is my first Korea travel post. There will be a total of 6 parts, and I have to tell you it was difficult to limit it to just 6. I took so, so many photos that it took some time to choose and edit. I was thinking what should be up first and figured why not start with Myeong-dong, the K-cosmetics heaven. After all, this is mainly a beauty blog lol. Well, let's get started!
